Have you beat Bryopsis with Kent Tech M?

I tried a letuce nudi in the past. Lasted 10 minutes in the tank before being sucked into a pump. Didn't stand a chance in a high flow sps tank.

Forgot to reply to don.ald about that. Tried a lettuce nudi a while ago. It did an awesome job of getting rid of the algae, or so I thought. When it ran out of Bryopsis to eat it withered away and disappeared, pressumably died. It lived for about 3 weeks. Once it was gone. The algae just came back in the same spots, I assume they leave little bits of the base behind which will regrow.
The same goes for other nudis I assume, Berghias, Monti eating ones etc... no more food, they die...

Had it in my tank awhile back. Freaking nightmare to deal with. I also tried Kent Magnesium Tech M and had some doubt like you do. So I poured some of it on the Bryopsis just to test the theory. It practically melted away. Anyway, it worked just take sometimes. Good luck.

Does it grow from runners? If so could it be feather caulerpa?

Haven't seen any runners. There's a few single strands that appear to grow from nothing. The photos I've seen of Caulerpa make it look like its a bit rubbery, is it? This stuff I have is very feathery

Just read on Wikipedia that Lettuce nudis arent actually nudis, not even related. They're Lettuce sea slugs (Elysia crispata)

Hmm so spot treatment with Tech M? Could give that a try

[hillegom]

yes, the stems and runners are "rubbery" if its caulerpa
